in person they are not REAL quiet...it's just that the comparison from the ear splitting sound of the straight pipes is pretty impressive.

i think if the pipes were run out the back it would be even nicer riding in the car, although right now it really only takes a SMALL increase in voice to chat over the drone. and the drone is most likely totatlly due to the reverberation of the exhaust under the car.

those revs were only about 1500-2000rpm

it makes for a lot of fun around town, not worrying about cops so much. although it still SCREAMs at full throttle.

 

I'll have a sound clip and video up in a couple of days.

 

RIGHT ON!!!

 

This is a really great thread. I'm completely sick of having bulletts on my TD setup. Magnaflow is what I planned on getting anyway but it looks like the 4x9" Magnaflows are a good mix of tone without silencing the car moreso than desired. Cant wait to get those and run it over the axle like Grip. I'm anxious for the sound clips of his setup.

teke184: Your car sounds like my idealization of the setup. Smooth, refined with a good bite to it still. Very nice.

 

I remember that Roger Grotyhahn used to make true duals that fit under the panhard rod. That setup looks sweet. I can't wait for the sound clips.

 

Just spoke (over the phone) to three custom exhaust shops. The first two shops wanted to argue with me about how true duals couldn't be done. NOT possible. Some custom exhaust shop! The third seemed more open to looking at my car and discussing it. This just makes me want to do it more now.

 

take pictures off this thread...pretty tough to argue with proof

 

Agreed. One guy wanted to know if I've ever been "under the car". I'm the original owner, by the way. Other one said there's no ground clearance for 3in. pipes. I told him I thought 3" pipes would provide more clearance than the 4" Y pipe I'm using. Still insisted it couldn't work since the factory didn't do it. I said that's why its called custom. LOL. By the way, awesome looking job on the true duals from the original poster.

 

i got dual 3".

it can be done, anyone who says no doesn't have the skill or they are scared

 

Did you get yours done in SSF ?

 

Ssf?

 

south san fransisco..they are going to do my tru duals.I just cant remember the name at the moment but they are suppose to be the best around.

 

I got mine done in Brentwood, at Oakley muffler. Excellent work.

 

Got ay pics of the finished product??

 

They are dumped at the axle though.

they are a bit dirty as I have an oil leak, but here ya go:
